I thought about building a caboose restoration plant/yard where my railroad would repair and build cabooses for other roads on a commercial basis, but built too many other space-eaters. (don't know if such existed). This to justify having a variety of cabeese on the "property". Thwarted at that, l idly wonder if railroads had caboose marshaling yards, or only operated with yard caboose tracks (each yard) and "caboose hops" to supply them. That makes me wonder if any Class 1 ever had to send out a cabooseless freight as no caboose was available? Or did rules forbid that?
